And this got me wondering, what if the Stars arc and this appearance of this seemingly more powerful version of Sailor Moon, Sailor Cosmos, was all merely a hallucination which would never actually occur? It could maybe of been used as a mirage by some future force, perhaps Neo Queen Serenity?

This can be backed up by the fact that the future version of the senshi seem to appear in their Super forms rather than this more powerful Eternal form. Surely if this event had occurred, they'd of known about the consequent Crystal Tokyo attack in season 2 by the Black Moon Clan? So therefore they would assume their Eternal forms to defeat them. I can't 100% remember if the future senshi appeared in their Super forms but I know for a fact that it was either Basic or Super, definitely not Eternal.

And the far-fetched nature of different timelines cracks open a whole new dimension (quite literally! xD) to the Sailor Mooniverse. Yes, the whole series is far-fetched but the implication of other timelines and dimensions seemed somewhat out of place...

So what do you think? Do you believe too that maybe Sailor Cosmos and Chaos never truly existed and it was all a rouse to help the senshi grow as guardians? Maybe it was all a dream of Usagi's? Because the ability to snatch star seeds seems extremely powerful, does it not?
